Goldreich and Sudan [1]} initiated a systematic study of LTCs as objects of interest in their own right. Over the years better and better LTCs were constructed [2]}, [1]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, [9]}, but, nevertheless, experts went back and forth on whether “\(c^3\) -LTCs” (namely, LTCs with constant rate, constant distance, and constant locality) are likely to exist, compare [10]} with [11]}.
